Title: Improvements in Vacuum Steam Engines.
Inventor: COMSTOCK CHARLES
Filed: 1910-12-15
Granted: 1911-12-15
Abstract: 29,193. Comstock, C. Dec. 15. Movable-abutment type; valve-gear; working- fluid supply.-Ports are provided independent of the ordinary inlet and exhaust ports, and these independent ports are connected to a vacuum pump. In a modification steam is dispensed with and atmospheric air admitted instead. The engine is of the compound type and is reversible. The piston is provided with four vanes A, B, C, D and a rotary abutment 24 pushed round by the vanes. Two ratchets and pawls are provided on both the piston and abutment shafts, to prevent rotation in the wrong direction and to allow reversal. Steam admission pipes 39, 40, exhaust pipes 49, 49<1>, pipes 42, 54, 59<1>, 41 connected to a vacuum pump, and air intake pipes 45, 46, 56, 64 are provided, together with manually-operated two-way cocks 43, 57, 65, 43<1> for reversing. In the position shown, the piston rotates in the direction shown by the arrow, and steam is admitted through the pipe 40 and exhausted through the pipe 49 into the next stage or into the atmosphere, a non-return valve 53 being provided in the pipe. A vacuum is formed between the vanes B, C by connexion to the pump through the pipe 54, and air is admitted into this space on further rotation through the pipe 64. A vacuum is also formed between the vane A and the abutment by connexion to the pump through the pipe 41. The steam may be dispensed with, and the valve 43 moved to cut off both the pipes 40, 42 and, instead of steam, air is admitted through the pipe 46. The vacuum pump is in this case actuated by a separate engine instead of by direct chain gearing from the main shaft, as is the case when steam is used.

Title: Improvements in Fusible Cut-outs for Controlling Electric Circuits.
Inventor: HOPE VERNON
IPC: H01H85/055
Filed: 1911-06-26
Granted: 1912-07-26
Abstract: 14,803. Hope, V. June 26. Fusible cut-outs.-A bi-metallic fusible cut-out is made up of a metal having a relatively high fnsing-point, and preferably a comparatively high electrical couductivity, and a metal having a relatively low melting-point, one enclosing the other. A core C, Fig. 1, of copper or like metal is enclosed in a sheath S of tin-lead alloy or like metal. An excess current melts the alloy at a relatively low temperature, whereupon the whole excess current is carried by the copper, the cross-sectional area of which is such that it is quickly fused by this current. The copper core may be of multiple wires stranded or separated, and the sheathing may be provided with radiating fins S1, Fig. 3. Several copper cores C2, Fig. 4, may be embedded in a sheathing of tin or tin alloy. The core may be of tin &c. and the sheathing of copper, in which case the copper may be deposited electrolytically in a granular state with interstices for the escape of the core when it melts; or fine copper wires may be loosely woven, braided, or twisted on to the core. An enclosed handle-type of fuse is shown in Fig. 9, in which the bi-metallic fuse-wires F are gripped between the flanges A, B in connexion with the contacts K1. In some cases, a third metal having characteristics between the other two may be employed, so that the three metals fuse in succession. The presence of melted tin indicates that the fuse is on the point of blowing or has already blown.

Patent GB-191117991-A (GB)
Title: Improvements in the Art of Making Full Fashioned Stocking Blanks on a Flat or Straight Knitting Machine and in a Mechanism of a Machine therefor.
Inventor: NEBEL KARL
IPC: D04B11/28
Filed: 1911-08-08
Granted: 1912-08-08
Abstract: 17,991. Nebel, K. Aug. 8. Straight-bar machines; knitted fabrics.-Relates to means for producing full-fashioned stocking blanks in a continuous operation. During the knitting of the side pieces h<2>, h3, Fig. 11, for the heel caps, the intermediate portion of the web is retained on the needles and after pressing off the pieces h<2>, h<3>, knitting is continued on these needles to produce the foot portion h<4> and extra needles are set up with loops h to provide the additional width required. By the use of sliding cam trucks, the needles are held away from the regular presserbar b<2>, during the formation of the heel caps h<2>, h<3> and the needles remaining in operation are pressed by an auxiliary bar b<3>, the centre portion b<4> of which is cut away to miss the main body of needles. Subsequent to pressing-off the heel caps, the bar b<3> is thrown out of action and the needle-bar returned to its original position, while a manually-operated device sets up as many additional needles with yarn as are required. For this purpose, the yarn guide-rod d<5> is given a variable traversing movement by means of a screw shaft i<2> carrying a forked block i<3>, which moves a cam i<6> along a splined shaft i<5>. The shafts i<2>, i<5> are connected by gear i<8> and the operative edge of the cam i<6> acting on a pin on the rod d<5>, causes the yarn to be presented in front and in rear of the needles. To move the yarn - carriers through the needles, the shaft i<5> is moved backwards and forwards in forked brackets by a cam. The combined motion winds the yarn round the stems of successive needles.

Abstract: 4400. Hebblethwaite, J. W. Feb. 21. [Cognate Application, 11,688/12.] Flanging; seaming.-In a machine for seaming ends to cans or for flanging can-bodies by means of rolls in which the work is held between two rotating chucks 1, 4 one of which moves axially to clamp it, the rolls associated with the moving chuck 4 move with it, thus maintaining their correct relative position. The lower bracket 27 carrying the rolls is loosely mounted on a square shaft 28, which is oscillated to bring the rolls against the work. The bracket 27 is also connected by a collar 29, bar 30, block 11, and rod 10 to the driven spindle 5 of the chuck 4, so that these are moved up together by the lever 12. To prevent the rollers from damaging the chuck in seaming when no can is between the chucks, the spindle 5 is supported by a spring 37, Fig. 4, which rests upon a projection 40 of the rod 10, the relative movement of the parts being limited by a pin 41. Thus the chuck 4 is always raised slightly above the seaming- rollers unless the spring is compressed by reason of a can being held between the chucks.

Abstract: 10,179. Holzer, H. May 4, 1911, [Convention date]. Blades.-In turbines the clearances around the the shrouds d, Fig. 1, of blades l, f are formed with inclined passages a', a<2>, b', b<2>. The static pressure differences tend to cause leakage past the shrouds from left to right, while the flow of the fluid creates a suction at a' and b<2> and a pressure at a<2> and b<2>, thereby creating a tendency for back leakage. The clearance losses are consequently neutralized or minimized.
